“I am running Linux from a bootable memory stick”

Please link to a site with a simple, thorough tutorial. I’ve been very disappointed with what I’ve found.

Here’s a link to (Linux) Ubuntu’s site and a tutorial for creating a bootable USB thumbdrive: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows

There are several steps but it really isn’t that difficult. Once created you can boot your computer (desktop or laptop) to the Linux OS (note that you can do this with more than just Ubuntu) without changing a thing on your computer’s hard drive - just make sure you specify “run from USB” and not “Install Ubuntu”!

I also found a u-toob vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFeri7UiYNs
